China, Yunnan, Er Che Du Ma, In Front Of Door, 2006

When I asked Er Che Du Ma if she could wear her traditional costume for me, she promptly shut her little store front and went home to change. Here, she stands in front of her front door. Even the house she lived in with her parents was quaint, with a beautiful watercolor on the wall. The people there now marry, but in the old days, the women were the property owners and there was no marriage.
